Victor Wanyama believes the current Tottenham squad can turn their fortunes around and sends a message to his former teammates on what they should do.
At the start of the season, there was a feeling of excitement around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with supporters expecting the Lilywhites to push on and build on their fifth-place finish in Ange Postecoglou‘s first season in charge.
However, instead, things have gone disastrously so far for the club, who are currently mired in mid-table mediocrity, dropping down to eleventh place in the table after their defeat to Chelsea.
The club’s terrible luck with injuries has not helped their cause, with Postecoglou having to do with several of his key players recently.
Wanyama has admitted that he has been as surprised as everyone else about Spurs‘ inconsistency this season and suggested that they should approach every match like it is a big game.
The former Tottenham midfielder told Telecom Asia: “It’s been a tough season so far, and I think it’s clear to see they’ve been inconsistent. But it’s strange because they perform very well against teams that are up there, like Manchester City, but then they struggle against lower teams.
“Normally, if you’re in a situation like this, you have to see every game as a big game so you can approach every match with the same energy and focus.”
The Kenyan explained that during his time at, the players delivered some home truths to each other when things were not going well, suggesting that the same could work for the current Spurs squad.
He added: “When things were tough, we reminded each other that the next game was now or never. There were home truths spoken, and we would go back to the basics. I don’t want to say this was a long time ago because the basics are still the same.
“Form doesn’t mean much here. Think about it: last year when they beat us, we went into the game unbeaten and were huge favourites, but they ended up winning, so that won’t count for much.”
The Kenyan admitted that Tottenham still have a special place in his heart and that he keeps in touch with his former teammates, including Fraser Forster, who he played with at Southampton.
He added: “Tottenham is my club, and I still stay in touch with a lot of the guys, especially the ones I played with, like Sonny (Son Heung-min). But I also know Fraser Forster very well. The feeling I get is that the group is a good one, and everyone is working hard to turn things around.”
